Remove the standing charge from all energy bills
Rejected

What the petition asks
I want the government to force the energy companies to remove the standing charge from all energy bills.
The energy companies are making unprecedented high profits, while domestic and business users are struggling to pay their vastly inflated bills.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
You may wish to sign this petition which calls for the same action: Pass a law that prevents the use of standing charges by utility companies
